A connecting device for connection to an electrical connection system of a solar module comprises a connector housing for arranging on an outer face of the solar module and current-carrying components arranged in the connector housing, which components comprise at least one contact for connection to a conductor of the electrical connection system of the solar module, which conductor leads out from the solar module. A connection device, which may be arranged inside the connector housing, for positioning the conductor which leads out from the solar module is also provided, it being possible for the connection device and the contact to be arranged relative to one another in such a way that the contact is initially guided contactlessly along the conductor which leads out, so as to contact said conductor which leads out, and contacts the conductor which leads out in an end position. Reliable contact is thus possible without displacing the conductor which leads out.

Connecting device for connection to a solar module and solar module with such a connecting device

A connecting device that connects to at least one external electrical conductor of a photovoltaic solar module. The connecting device includes a plurality of busbars, a support element, a housing, a diode and a contact. The plurality of busbars are arranged next to one another, while the support element is attached to the plurality of busbars and includes a bottom face to be positioned on the solar module. The housing is positioned over the support element and the plurality of busbars and includes an edge surrounding the support element and the plurality of busbars when the overhousing is positioned on the solar module. The diode fits onto the plurality of busbars and includes diode leads that fit onto one of the plurality of busbars, such that the plurality of busbars are connected together through the diode.

Connecting device for connecting an electrical conductor to a solar module and method for the production thereof, together with a solar module with such a connecting device

A connecting arrangement includes at least first and second housings in which at least one conductor of a first cable can be electrically connected to at least one conductor of a second cable fed via a cable receiver. At least one piercing element is electrically connected to the second cable and configured to be inserted transversely into the conductor of the first cable. The cable receiver is constructed as an integral unit with the second housing and the piercing element. A sealing element configured to seal a piercing point of the piercing element is arranged on an inner side of the second housing and the cable receiver is disposed on an outer side of the second housing. The sealing element and the cable receiver are formed in one piece through the second housing.
